Im not sure what to say

an animal I think is a horse, or at least the other way round

By jove, you might be getting it at last!
Not all animals are horses! All horses are animals!
Not all PCBs are computers (in the general sense of the word) but all computers are basically PCBs! (for Mitch: they might be in cases, with input/output devices, and for doggit: a monitor is an output device. )
A washing machine controller has an input device and an output device.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mr. Ed.

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
You never heard of a talking horse?
But the famouse Mr Ed.

I only said, Im not sure what to say as you seem to be getting more confused than ever

all computers are basically PCBs

Computers are not basically pcbs.

A printed circuit board is just a board. To be a computer it needs other components.

Also a computer does not have to be made with a printed circuit board.

A computer could be hard wired. Very early computers were made this way..

A washing machine controller may have an operating system, but that doesnt mean it can be instructed to carry out arbitary sequences.

It appears to be you that is confused.
My statements have been consistent throughout:
A computer is basically a PCB (or several PCBs).
A PCB is not a computer (it may be, but more than likely is not).
All modern electronic controllers are basically a PCB. Some have processors, memory, input/output devices.

Computers are not basically pcbs.

The major component is just a PCB, onto which other components are connected, just like a washing machine controller. (just for mitch: you do not need a case!)

A printed circuit board is just a board. To be a computer it needs other components.

As does a washing machine controller, FFS!

Also a computer does not have to be made with a printed circuit board.

Neither does a washing machine controller! But they are because that is the easiest way to mass produce them and achieve consistency.

A computer could be hard wired. Very early computers were made this way..

So were washing machines.

A washing machine controller may have an operating system, but that doesnt mean it can be instructed to carry out arbitary sequences.

Arbitrary = based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system
Of course it can! It would not be much good as a reliable washing machine, but neither would a computer be much good if it carried out arbitrary sequences, unless that is what is wanted, e.g. output a random number sequence.
However, if you were trying to write a letter, and the computer outputted an arbitrary sequence, your letter would be gibberish.
That explains your, and **** end's postings.


This may be how your brain works.

Therefore, to go back to judith's original dopey statement: "computer technology", that will be a PCB (or several), an operating system, a processor, memory, input/output devices!

Ahh changing what you said, wannashowyourselfupforthetwatyoureallyare. You originally said a computer is basically a PCB. You made no mention of an OS, a processor, memory, input/output devices. Christ sake, how obnoxious are you in real life?
Tell me wannabhimmyandseveralothersagaintillyougetbannedpermenantly, what does the term "computer technology" mean to you exactly? Is it simply a PCB? If so you are sadly mistaken. It's you , and you alone who made the stupid comparison between a "PCB" and a "Computer". You alone have shown yourself up to be the brainless tw@t you really are.

One tries to explain these things to wa har bee but it all seems to fall on deaf ears ??? same thing happed when he was posting up as "him again"

One tries to enlighten & help the bloke & in doing so u end up being on the end of abuse or he resorts to posting up porkie pies or some fantasy.

imho tis his fault as to why Blightymam went awol
